Well the thinking in Russia is that Gergiev wants Mariinka 4 to tack on to Mariinka 1, 2 and 3.___

As a side note, those who recall Eldar Aliyev from his performances of Corsaire in the Kirov Ballet's 1991/2 tours to California, will note that he is now Head Balletmaster for the troupe, and setting that very ballet. So already arms (legs) of the Kirov/Mariinsky exist in Vladivostok.

Catherine, someone else at the same forum has pointed out that Vladivostok is only a 2 hour 40 minute flight from Tokyo and that there are 4 Japanese soloists in the company. These implications continue to be quite interesting.
